I am looking for a writer with humor and tons of irony who mocks people with lower intelligence in his books. Is there such a book?

I used to think this was hack garbage. Then, I realized it was a commentary on advertisement. How often have you seen an advertisement that said, "this truck is more than just a truck!"? No, it's not, it's just a truck.

I'm finishing a book called "fads and fallacies in the name of science". It fits your criteria OP

Orwell. He thinks so lowly of his readers that he blatantly tells them to skip specific chapters be they too drab.

No, the point is that it literally isn't a pipe. It's a painting of one.

You should check out Jonathan Swift. Though he doesn't exactly mock people with lower intelligence as much as just humans in general. Great sense of irony and humor though.

Multiple. Interpretations.

You fool. Posting them lowers their value by increasing their availability. You need to constrict the flow of pepes to the market if you want their value to rise.
